• Wash, fold, and return residents’ clothes and linen carefully and promptly.
• Label, repair, and look after residents’ personal laundry items.
• Follow infection prevention practices and health and safety requirements.
• Develop positive, respectful connections with residents while being mindful of their individual needs.
